The record

What it does: FormForge is a browser-based PDF form builder for turning PDFs into fillable forms.
Field detection: Its AI detects fields in flat PDFs and scans, and runs locally in the browser using WebAssembly.
Field types: It supports text, checkbox, radio button, dropdown, signature, date, and number fields.
Form tools: Form doctor runs 21 AcroForm checks with one-click fixes, and the app can batch-generate filled PDFs from CSV data.
Signatures: Users can draw or type a handwritten-style signature, or optionally add a cryptographic signature when exporting.
Privacy: PDF processing and drafts stay on the device in the browser; the privacy policy says optional app analytics require consent and do not include PDF contents or form answers.
Offline use: The site says the installable PWA works offline after its resources are cached, while its FAQ says opening or reloading the page requires a connection.
Compatibility: It exports AcroForm PDFs that the site says open in Adobe Acrobat Reader, macOS Preview, Chrome, Firefox, and mobile PDF apps.
Notable limits: It does not edit underlying PDF page content or reorder, delete, rotate, or merge pages, and embeds text using standard Helvetica only.
File limits: The site says there is no fixed file-size or page-count limit; practical limits depend on available device memory.
Integrations: The privacy policy identifies self-hosted Rybbit for analytics and Netlify hosting; it names no form-submission or workflow integrations.
Who it is for: The site presents use cases for HR and recruiting, government administration, legal professionals, small businesses and freelancers, and developers.
Support: The maker invites bug reports and feature requests by email at [email protected].
Maker: The About page identifies Aleksandar Jovanovic as the developer and says he is based in Germany.
